What reading level is Great African Travellers book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The scene was extremely beautiful. The banksand the islands which appeared here and there amid the stream, wererichly adorned with trees and shrubs of various colours, many being infull blossom. High above all rose an enormous baobab-tree surrounded bygroups of graceful palms.
As the water was now low, they proceeded in the canoe to an island inthe centre of the river, the further end of which extended to the edgeof the falls. At the spot where they landed it was impossible todiscover where the... vast body of water disappeared. It seemed, indeed, suddenly to sink into the earth, for the opposite lip of the fissureinto which it descends was only eighty feet distant. On peering overthe precipice the doctor saw the stream, a thousand yards broad, leapingdown a hundred feet and then becoming suddenly compressed into a spaceof fifteen or twenty yards, when, instead of flowing as before, itturned directly to the right, and went boiling and rushing amid thehills.
The vapour which rushes up from this cauldron to the height of two orthree hundred feet, being condensed, changes its hue to that of darksmoke, and then comes down in a constant shower.
